Yes, the Bill is Unconstituional. Clearly. However, does the Veto of a Bill make the underlying Unconstitutional ISSUE die?
The Obvious answer is No.
That is what this has always been about. The Dumbocrats thought they could continue to Browbeat the political right, knowing that this issue would never become law.
They would continue to rake in obscene amounts of soft money, and yell about the other side getting hard money, which at least comes from Individuals, knowing the Public won't make the distinction.
Then The media Jumped in as well, for all the onbvious reasons (favortism of the Left, increased media Power...etc)
At the End of the Day, all a Veto does is keep this issue alive.
Signing the Bill on the other hand, does many things.
It send the Issue Before SCOTUS where it will be declared UNCONSTITUTIONAL, killing it.
And along the way, we pick up an enormous cash advantage, helping to cement our position, and pick up ground against the left.
Get it?
Winning all the battles, and the war by feigning defeat, is Chess style strategy.
It's time we left the Checkers for the other side.
P.S.
Considering it was common knowledge that (r)s hold a Large hard money advantage over (d)s....can you imagine the absolute sinking dread they felt, when W put pen to paper, on that parchment?
Think about that.Revel in it.
